‍

My artistic approach can best be described as visual storytelling, crafted with distinctive lighting techniques and engaging subjects, married together in a setting that complements the narrative-based imagery. I love stepping into my subject’s world and document their surroundings.

‍

Outside of photography, Cody loves spending time outdoors. Camping, fishing, and going on long walks with his wife is how he likes to spend his free time.
